This is my way of saying thank you to everyone from Cigar Box Nation... and especially to the few who chipped in to buy me this most amazing "retirement gift:" a Ghettoborn lap steel by Harrison Withers (handwound pickup by Elmar Zeilhofer).

I didn't know what to say or how to put my thoughts into words, so instead, I put the words into my hands. This little video is me conveying how happy this instrument makes me...how fulfilled my friends make me feel...and how much I love you guys.

(BTW, this axe screams like a mutherfucker.)

Thank you.
-Shane
